Letter to the Editorial Board

It has happened that recently I have had occasion to mention the name of the former Menshevik I. Maysky, who was a minister under Kolchak. Comrade I. Maysky has written to me protesting against his being confused with Martov and Chernov, and points out that he, Maysky, is now already a member of the RCP and works in a Soviet position in Omsk as head of the Economic Department of the Sibrevkom.

I consider it my duty to bring this indication of comrade I. Maysky to the attention of the reading public.353
